[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] notluK:
Firstly let me say I'm a long time lurker of XDA, I don't often post but rather keep quiet in the shadows. I've owned many handsets (Including the Inc. and TB, meaning I know bad battery life) and this has always been the site I go to for hacking and general information.

I don't expect definite, for-sure answers. I'm just seeking some advice on this, I absolutely love this phone and a Nexus on Verizon has always been my dream. :)

Secondly, I'm not posting here asking why my screen uses over 50% of the depletion on my charges, it is supposed to, I know that. I see many threads asking about that, which is why I waited to post not wanting to ask what has been already. But I am asking about my case specifically, and want input.

The main thing here is the amount of screen on time I am able to get.

I have had my GNex since Saturday afternoon, when I bought it the battery was dead and I fully charged it, the first day I used it mostly while plugged into AC, using 4G to install my apps. Since then (the last two days) I have tried depleting the charge almost entirely before charging, shying away from charging mid-depletion. I have tried using CDMA mostly (my area has just marginally good 4G), hoping I could stop some of the bleeding, but to no avail. I should also say I yesterday for the first time threw a custom ROM/Kernel on and that seemed to help marginally, though in truth I don't see that really changing the screen power consumption.

Please take a good look at both screenshots, as said I care nothing about the %.

(I am aware there is still 13% remaining on my charge, but even so this seems just crazy)

In the first screenshot at the bottom it's apparent this isn't a huge amount of screen on time.

I would kill to get 4 hours of screen on time with this thing, heck even in the area of 3, but it doesn't seem to be in the foreseeable future as it looks now. I can get out 2 at most to this point, and that is on almost entirely 3G/WiFi with light/moderate data usage.

I really need to ask. Do I just need patience to let this battery break in? I hear some say this can be a week-long thing, but shouldn't I see some increase by now?

If not, do I seek out a replacement battery or could this be an actual defect of the AMOLED drawing more than it should?

Thanks for your help! :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] gogol:
There were quite a lot of awake time during screen off if I look your stat.

Thats your problem.

Too much sync?

Mine can get up to 3 hours and 45 minutes screen on time, span into 2 days stand by, gsm version.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] notluK:
Good point, looking into playing with sync in settings and JD.

But while that accounts for the drop during the 10hr overnight period (20% of battery/83% of time), I still feel the draw during screen on (80% of battery/17% of time) is just insane, even given the AMOLED.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] xl DIGITAL lx:
Maybe its a rogue app running in the background making the battery drain real fast. Try wiping and running the phone normally without restoring your apps and see if that will improve. I'm having the same problem as you but with the GSM version. I'm looking through my apps though.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] pcphobic:
Here's my result

Here are some of the usual suspects:

- Facebook for Android app (uninstall it and replace it with Friendcaster and change the frequency of update t less often will do the trick)

- Accuweather widget or any other weather widgets

- Whatsapp

- Viber

- Latitude (google maps) - Login to Latitude and then ensure you select the option where it does not report your location and then sign out of Latitude.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Black Mirror:
Honestly, I have the GSM version and I've rarely gotten over 3 hours screen time. It's the screen. The battery life sucks, so you'll have to just ABC (always be charging), at the desk/sofa/car.

What I really want to ask is how you got the battery percentage inside the battery icon?!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] 9kracing:
This is also my exact problem. I can get great life if I don't touch the phone. Every time I use it for a few seconds, that's 2-3% gone. Browse the internet for 15 mins? Forget it, that's 10% gone at least.

I guess it's just the price to pay for such a gorgeous screen.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] notluK:
The custom ROM I'm running had it as the default icon: AXI0M 2.3.

1++++++++++++++++++
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] notluK:
What is your total screen on time during those charges?

The only app in that list I really have to check is latitude. Doing so now.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] @rbiter:
I think op should stop playing wind up knight in his sleep. Case closed. Just kidding. But seriously, probably got something using up cpu cycles when using phone and not using it. If i dont play any games, i easily get 4 hours screen time, and got 5.25 over the weekend.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] notluK:
When I flashed this ROM I purposely left games out when setting it back up, the only one is Drop7 which I purposely make sure gets killed when I'm done. All apps which sync I have either at minimal amounts or off entirely. :(
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] @rbiter:
Are you in north america? Try ugkk7 radio maybe? I am in the usa and xxkk6 was ok, but since i flashed ugkk7 reception is excellent. Oh wait. Youre cdma version. I dont know if the same applies. I do know radios designated UGxx# are north american.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Nesty-Online:
you could install CPU SPY to see if your device is going in deepsleep, I had a problem that one app was using most of the time 350mhz and was using my battery very fast.

after that i found the app with battery monitor and disabled the app to see if the problem was solved, and that was the case, and i have now a battery life from more then a day instead of 5 hours.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] joshnichols189:
I can get 3.5 hours of screen on time spread over ~36 hours or so on the GSM version.. if LTE is on I would assume around two hours of screen on time was normal for a Verizon version just because of how LTE is but it did look like your CPU was awake a lot as well so also it could be a rogue app, not necessarily a game.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] dmitrynt:

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] notluK:
Will give that a try. Like mentioned though almost none of that time was 4G enabled. (Maybe 10mins of that first green section.) The slope is just as steep.

In truth this was a fairly data-light charge.

Could it be the rogue app would actually sap battery only when the screen is on? Even though there is wake time where there shouldn't, that isn't the main area of drain.
[G2 and Desire Z General] kreizy:
Hello

I would like to know if there is an approximate date of the camera driver for the Desire Z (ICS), as the camera I use quite often and it's the only thing that does not work (in the port by mdeejay).

For HTC Desire phone has the camera works, see this article: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1355660.

Thank you.
[G2 and Desire Z General] crestofawave:
Soon

The thread mentions that the camera is only PARTIALLY working. However seeing as ICS has seen tremendous development over the past few months, we will have camera in no time!

Edit: I am aware of that. Just denoting that it won't take long till we have a fully operational build WITH camera!
[G2 and Desire Z General] kreizy:
Partially mean that works just photos. Video recording don't works. :)
[G2 and Desire Z General] foefur:
Looks like we'll have to be patient for a little while.....
[G2 and Desire Z General] sky225:
I've read a number of the android development threads and it seems that the problem is that the devs don't have the camera driver for ICS. As the Desire and DesireZ uses different cpu series, it seems that the progress on the desire is not very applicable to DesireZ and there's still much work to be done before the devs can get the camera to work. (Perhaps we can look also to the DesireHD progress?? I don't know)

But the devs definitely had already done a great great great job! =D
[G2 and Desire Z General] kierren:
They will probably have something hacked together within a week (just a guess based on the progress made so far). If we want a true ICS Camera we need to ask HTC to develop and distribute the drivers (from what I've heard). Time to fire up those emails.
[G2 and Desire Z General] dhkr234:
I suspect that still pictures will satisfy almost everyone. I don't think I've **EVER** taken video with my phone, certainly isn't a show stopper to lack that feature (for me, at least), but lack of still pictures IS.
[G2 and Desire Z General] ohgood:
be careful, that slope is slippery !
[G2 and Desire Z General] sino8r:
There are a few ways it might happen:

Drivers are released from HTC. We need people to ask for them! Don't just ask people hear and speculate... take action and ask! Do so here: http://htcdev.com/contact

Drivers are released for a similar model with same chipset. It's a big maybe and probably not since they are all around the same age as our Desire Z.

And finally, CM team just ports it from Gingerbread or somehow tweaks the driver to work. That is the more likely but obviously is going to be difficult to almost impossible. But it still is the more likely scenario unless HTC releases the driver.

The problem is: HTC isn't going to do sh*t unless there is demand for it. We must act quickly and must make as many requests as possible. Ask you friends, co workers, and even your old Grandma to do so ;) Just remember what we asking for... just the ICS source code and driver for the camera. We have a much better chance for that because it's easier for HTC and more likely because it won't effect their sales as much as a full ICS update. Thanks to these guys for the idea! http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1425324

one question i want to ask you if you are working in same team then why would you create separate thread ?? wayland did most of work and we are grateful to all supporting members who helped to make this rom... but making new thread looks odd to me............

anyway thanks for hw accel fix :D

and make next rom based on 4.0.3 as google themself backed it from Nexus S

Yes

its latest
[Galaxy Ace S5830 Android Development] slaid480:
What's new from the Latest CM9 sources??

What I said was.... uhggg :confused: Never mind... Seems you guys give each post a DIFFERENT context...

So, @Ali Wilson: I think YOU DID this in a diff post cause you want your OWN credits to YOUR work (and of course you diserve them) and don't want to feel under Wayland's shadow... Underestimated or however you call it. But is just an "I THINK stuff"

@Wayland: When I said "I think he did bla bla bla" Was not talking about you... In shot words, I ain't telling no crap... Got it? (hope you give this one the context I'm actually using)

The phone is not as responsive as I thought it would be. The homescreen settings take just that amount of time for you to notice.

God I just don't wanna go back to Gingerbread, ICS is wonderful :(

Many issues, and bugs are left to be ironed out and unless you want everyone jumping in and making your life hell with stupid questions and pointing fingers, start a known bug list out on the first page, with entries like laggy ui, no camera, ecetra, ecetra.

just wanna pointing out something ( I know that my explanation may sound weird but Im not a developer )

The resolution I mean how we look things on the screen, makes that things are a little bit smalls and unreadable, the app drawer dont seem quite good with so many icons per page, and everything simply dont match the screen´s size being so small. That was not present on the legacy build
